[@TheWaynos73]

Walken’s best scene for me was when he shows up in the older cop’s house near the end. ‘I’m not your problem i’m just a businessman’. Such an incredible monologue. So damn true. You will never stop drugs. There will always be someone else.

[@bluemooninthedaylight8073]

@@TheWaynos73 It's a very layered scene, though. The older detective and Frank are sides of the same coin. They've got this boiling rage to them. Frank's a bit full of himself when he does that monologue, in that he calls himself a businessman, even though he's brutally killing and destroying lives. The older detective has been playing it by the book, isn't foolish enough to think he'll end illegal drugs, but when Frank humiliates him in his own home and rubs it in, the detective snaps. His shooting through the handcuff chain speaks more bluntly about his intentions than anything Frank said. Frank crossed the final line.

[@MyNewYorkCity.]

One of the greatest movies and sound tracks.

[@tinderbox218]

I remember when it came out (1990) and yes, New Jack City was near the same time (1991). Living in NYC, all my other white friends all preferred NJC for some reason. I was heavily into hip-hop at the time and was a photographer, so of course I preferred the cinematic super stylishness of KoNY. And stylish it was. Its major flaw was its shallow script and dialogue apart from Fishburne, who really blazed across the screen with an amazing character that is criminally unknown today. The film's spiritual companion isn't Goodfellas or New Jack City, but "Deep Cover" starring Fishburne which arrived not long later (1992). Those two films were the best performances of his career.

[@bOmBAsTiK]

Don't forget Othello and Ike Turner, he was in his bag back then. To this day you can't tell me he wouldn't have crushed playing Malcolm had he and Spike not fallen out (with all due respect to Denzel, of course).

The difference between Ferrara and Scorsese is that the latter was brought up around actual gangsters, in the old, socially conservative environment that produced criminal gangs in a family setting. Ferarra, on the other hand, doesn't seem to base his characters in this great film on real life experiences. King of New York is a great film, and forms a nightmarish, almost mythic landscape that originally blends hip hop imagery with organised crime. Scorsese wouldn't make this film because it is a world made up from the director's imagination rather than one like GoodFellas, which despite its heavily stylised dircection, is more realistic.
